When I was buying my recent car I drove more GTS-T's and GTR's then you can poke a stick at.

I say go GTR if you want a car that feels like 100% proof Alcohol

Get a GTS-T if you want to drink milk.

Becouse a GTS-T really is milk compaired to a GTR.

I was comparing a R32 GTR to a R33 GTS-T.

Just thought this was relevent.

I would have a 33 or 34 GTR in a minute if one was dropped in my lap for a reasonable price and was in good to great condition.

I am leaning a lot more on the GTST side now , as I can do a lot of work myself and do bits every now and then. Because at the end of the day I want a unique looking (you will know what I mean if you saw my last R33) well built , strong, reliable and something I can slide around in as well. Have decided I am going to paint it the Light pearl blue from the ford XR6/8 (A lighter version of my R33) I want about 200-225rwkw with a lot of suspention work as I love going down to the track.

I just don't know. I've driven both a lightly modded R32 GTR and a highly modded GTS-T and for the get-off-the-line-holy-crap, you can't go past a GTR. BUT!!! The GTS-T was only 1 second behind the GTR on the National Circuit at QR, same driver. For the dollars and fun factor, I would go a GTS-T (RB25 only though)

Also, a lot of the GTR owners I know are not game to launch hard because they are frightened of breaking something.

It all comes down to clutch, i couldnt launch with my old clutch, in went a new Nismo twin plate - and it launches perfectly now (see sig) :wave:

No one said GTRs cant launch...Dave was just saying that many who own them are afarid to lauch and break stuff....and to be honest unless they are launched they arent that fast

WELL when I do my convertion I will be looking closely at a different gaer box, as my cluth will be fine as I just put in a Exedy HD 5 puk clutch in. and I want about 225kw out of the RB25 so I will have to think about if a standard gearbox will like that to much. What parts break in stock gearbox's and can I just get it re-built and strenghend before I chuck it on.

The gearbox in the R33 GTS-T is pretty strong. I've got around the rwkw numbers you are talking and I have had probably 30 trips down the strip and 100+ laps of QR and the gearbox is fantastic (actually gets better the hotter it gets.) So I wouldn't spend money on it until you manage to break it!!

Yeah you can use the same clutch. I bought a decent clutch, but skimped on the gearbox for now.

Mine will be about 230rwkw when I can afford to buy an EBC and get the PowerFC tuned. That's about as far as I am taking it (so I say now)

cool keep me posted pred as I hope to have around the same mods as you. I will be using your site as well alot so keep that up, I always look forward to the updates on it.

to much mussle for me , I would rather keep all 4 wheels on the road. Plus I will be spending enough money on mods and rice, to be spending any more on fuel! Remember I will be taking it back upto Darwin where fuel is at $1.50 for pemiuim

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
